This week, new collections from Lorena Canals, Patterson Flynn, Ege Design Studio and Jamie Stern take center stage.

Lorena Canals, a global brand that has been designing rugs for more than 25 years, has introduced a new home collection called Handloom Legacy.
According to the company, the collection showcases the slow, handcrafted process of handloom weaving, a centuries-old tradition passed down through generations. Each piece is a unique creation that blends tradition with modern living, representing quality, durability and a rich story woven into every thread.
The collection includes 100% handcrafted rugs made by the brand’s artisans at the company’s factory.
“This ensures complete control over the handcrafted process, with custom patterns and unique textures that machines simply cannot replicate. Our artisans are not just artisans; they are custodians of a centuries-old tradition, passed down through generations,” said a company representative.
This technique creates a distinct texture with natural variations, enhancing both depth and durability while preserving the inherent beauty of the materials. It strikes the perfect balance between quality, durability and heritage, reinterpreted for contemporary living.
The company’s handloom rugs are made using premium natural cotton, providing a soft texture, durability and a timeless aesthetic. They are crafted with a tight weave, ensuring they shed very little, if at all.
The unique cotton rugs can take days to complete, depending on the size of the rug. Each rug of this collection is signed by several crosses handcrafting the letter L, adding a distinctive artisanal touch. Available colorways include natural, beige, ochre and khaki.

Designer Alfredo Paredes‘ has partnered with luxury custom carpet and rugs company Patterson Flynn on a new rug collection called the Alfredo Parades x Patterson Flynn collection.
Paredes collaborated with the bespoke rug company for a collection of dynamic textures and materials drawn from his Cuban heritage, Miami upbringing and deep appreciation for vintage finds.
Statement making for any residence, the timeless designs are apparent through the use of humble materials such as recycled wool and silk while Parades incorporated innovative techniques including airbrush dying.
Consisting of eight unique designs, the rugs are crafted by hand with bold colors and graphic patterns and are available in several colorways, constructions and materials.
The new rugs include:

The team at Jamie Stern Furniture, Carpet, Leather and Fabric has just released Luminous – designed by Roya Gholizadeh and Rachel Barick.
The two designers said that Luminous explores the way light interacts with color, fiber and texture in this curated collection of seven hand-tufted rugs.
Inspired by the movement of light across the surface of the varying materials and textures, these designs highlight the softness of New Zealand wool as well as the shimmering qualities of bamboo silk.
Celebrating 40 years as a leader in hospitality, corporate and high-end residential design, Jamie Stern has redefined its signature in-house collections under the eye of industry veteran William Oberlin. The team is gearing up for additional launches in collaboration with leading designers, including Goodrich NYC – in the back half of the year.
